Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an Axolotl with skin-tag-looking green pigmented growths? Not exactly sure how old he/she is, but I've had it for about a month. The "tags" are on it's head/behind it's back legs. It's a white axie, so it's easily seen. I tried getting a picture, but you can't see it well... Any ideas as to what this could be? Thanks in advance for the help!! :proud:
 
I should add that he is showing no other sign of illness. Great appetite, normal activity level, and I just had my water quality tested and it was great!
 
Hey Sarah!

Can you get some photos up for us please? :)
 
Are you talking about the normal 'freckles' some white axolotls get? Does your axolotl have dark eyes?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
